Ex-Man Utd ace Tahith Chong stretchered off and rushed to hospital with horrific looking leg injury for Birmingham

TAHITH CHONG collapsed on the pitch during Luton's clash against Plymouth.

On the stroke of half-time, the former Manchester United star was left immobile on the edge of the penalty area.

Medical staff from both teams rushed to his aid as a stretcher was seen taken onto the pitch.

Fortunately, Chong was quickly seen back on his feet.

Sky Sports reporter David Craig reported the 24-year-old could walk off the pitch.

He was said to have been seen with a large lump on the left side of his forehead after a collision.

It was also reported that Chong was able to converse with people.

Luton later confirmed Chong could walk to the dressing room after a period on the floor.

Taking to social media, Plymouth added: "Great to see Tahith Chong walking off following treatment after he went down towards the end of the first half."

Chong was replaced by Jacob Brown at half-time.

Before tonight's game at Home Park, Chong had played in all six of the Hatters games since their return to the Championship.

He had scored one goal for Rob Edwards's side.

The Dutchman signed for the Hatters in 2023 from Birmingham after they earned promotion to the Premier League, having left Man Utd in 2022 to join the Blues.

Wayne Rooney's Plymouth had taken the lead through Rami Al Hajj after just eight minutes of play.

They added a second through a superb strike from substitute Ibrahim Cissoko.

Luton pulled one back seconds later with Victor Moses - scoring his first goal in English football since 2018 with Chelsea.

Cissoko sealed the deal for the Pilgrims with a clever reverse shot into the bottom left corner following a mesmerizing piece of skill in injury time.

The result leaves Plymouth in 14th and four points clear of the relegation zone with two wins in three before the rest of the division takes to the field over the weekend.

Meanwhile, Luton is just three points above the drop sitting in 16th.
